We will miss our uncle. He was a man of true character, quietly devoting his life to his family and friends. He cared for his mother for many years, and we will always remember him for the warm support that he provided throughout our lives. He truly enjoyed his days at Pleasant Valley, and the friendships that he made there were of great value to him. He was pure-hearted, and a class act.
He will also be missed by his nieces' and nephew's spouses and children. The spouses are Dan Franck, John McCarthy, George Stark, and Jennifer Andreopoulos. His grandnieces and grandnephews are Daniel, Alexandra and Sarah Franck, Amanda, Andrew and Tommy McCarthy, Emily and Jimmy Stark, Billy and Lindsay Andreopoulos, and Zachary Irish. He was loved by us all.
